Islam's nopope problem

From chat with an influence:

3. About the world's PAST AND PRESENT interaction with Islam, I think we're generally stuck at the nopope problem. Which is, ( not sure if you or someone else reiterated it lately ) that there is no central governance for Islam, so any Tom, Dick, and Chin Lee can wake up tomorrow and start doing things in the name of Islam, without any formal body for everyone to complain to or measure them against. This is pretty much the bottleneck for progress on global attitudes towards Islam, both good and bad, Islamophilic-phobic whatnot.
